Ingenuity Mars Helicopter got first scientific results in 4K capturing ancient liquid creek sleeves

On July 24, 2021 NASA’s Helicopter Ingenuity completed 10th flight on Mars and took 4K UHD aerial photos from 12 meters height. Chopper got first scientific results on Mars capturing signs of ancient creek sleeves at Raised Ridges area. Flight 10 was most complex flight to date, with 10 distinct waypoints and a nominal altitude of 40 feet (12 meters). Those tracks on the ground are not from Perseverance. Rover did not drive there. Ingenuity spotted unique landscape formation on Mars.
